Texts
Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and shall call his name Immanuel.
Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.
In this was manifested the love of God toward us,
because that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world
that we might live through him.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Words: Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6; 1 St. John 4:9; Ephesians 1:3
